Women’s First Time Gaming Workshop, Saturday @ 11 am: The illogiCon gaming room comes to you! Walking into a gaming room for the first time can be intimidating, particularly for women. If you’ve never gamed before, or your experience with gaming at a con is limited, join our GMs to discuss the norms and rules of the gaming room and maybe get a game or two started.

Live Action Slush, Saturday @ 4 pm: At the beginning of the panel, people submit the first page (300 words) of a story or book to the reader. One page only, no names. We then have our reader read each one out loud, and as he reads we listen until we hear something that would make us stop reading if we were editors. At that point we put up a hand. When all three of us have our hands up, the reader stops reading and we discuss what we heard that we liked and what we heard that made us stop. People can own up to their samples or keep them anonymous. It is a quick-moving, helpful exercise for writers.
